*thinking of making this tavern thread a story, as it's relatively small right now and has an interesting atmosphere*

 "Yup. Now I know what you're thinking, and no, not that type of wings. Those would taste awful."

 "Just like duck smoothies, I know."

 "Precisely. No, what I mean is actual wings, like those of an albatross."

 "Ah, so this is your Icarus story."

 "Not at all. This is my Orange Juice story."

*that I'm desperately trying to think of...*

 "Mmm."

*Lol, I wish you luck on your freestyle.*

 "Well, let's start simple. I'm a mercenary. That's what I do. I take jobs, and I don't ask questions. I'm not cheap, but I can travel anywhere."

I'd be useful to any guild.

"So, I took a job from one guy -- delightful fellow, actually. The job was in a desert, and he sent a decanter of endless water with me. Only some prankster put a spell on it, so instead of water, we got Orange Juice -- in huge amounts."

 "Mhm." Begins playing a jolly tune and tapping his foot, "Continue."

Perhaps

 "As you might imagine, I learned to love Orange Juice."

"We spent many nights walking, and slept in the day when we could. The goal was to retrieve a weapon from a clan of kobolds -- simple enough, till you realize they made their lair in a cliff -- literally. The whole lair was tunneled into the side of a cliff overlooking the Mythic Sea."

 "A lovely choice I assume, what happened next on this wondrous adventure?"

 "Well, this is where it gets interesting. See, the kobolds worshiped a deity called the Summer Lord. We wanted to do the job without violence, so the obvious choice was to sneak in."

 "Ah, I see." He strums along

 "So, we did. We wore lead wings and pretended to be [Tooltip Not Found]."

 "Ah, a very silly wager to try to be [Tooltip Not Found]."

 *actually laughing so hard right now*

"Quite so."

 "Yes, you understand they are very hard to find correct?"

Screamer listens with a slight smile on his face. 

*also, he knows thieves cant, as a rogue, so he understood everything that you said.*

 Magpie looks over and gives a knowing wink, "Would you also like my business card?"

 "Of course." He hands over his card, depicting a snake in the shape of a heart and the words 'Magpie's Formal Card, tap the icon to contact.'

 "Exceedingly so."

"But back to my story. We disguised ourselves as kobolds. One posed as the Summer God, while the rest of the crew, myself included, tried to sneak in as the "Summer God" distracted them. A simple plan."

 "It seems, but pretending to be god is never so easy."
